Many people believe that Darwins theory of evolution has changed and shaped the foundation of many who have Christian faith, because of the ideal differences between the theory of evolution and the six-days of creation.

Darwin was not one of the first people to explore the possibility of science and religion coming to a crossroads. St. Thomas Aquinas was a thirteenth-century philosopher and theologian who was also influenced by Augustine.

Their findings have suggested that discoveries in modern science should not be the conclusion to the belief many people have in the scriptures of the Bible. One should not abandon the teachings of Bible but rather use the teaching of the Bible and modern science as a...
